Norris rescued Miami (17-7, 10-6 Big East) after Notre Dame took its first
lead of the second half, 57-55, on a running jump shot by Antoni Wyche with
3:17 to play.

Norris knocked down a 15-footer with 2:42 left to tie the game 57-57.
Another Norris 15-footer restored Miami's lead, 59-57, with 1:58 to play.

Then, as Irish freshman guard Martin Ingelsby brought the ball down the left
side, Norris slipped in and stripped the ball away just past mid-court.

Miami worked the ball along the left baseline to Tim James, who slammed in a
two-handed stuff to make it 61-57 with 1:15 left.

Notre Dame (12-12, 6-10) had one more chance, after Pat Garrity hit two free
throws to make it 61-59 with 1:02 to play. Garrity fouled James on the next
trip down the floor, sending James to the free-throw line for a one-and-one.

James missed the front end and Garrity rebounded, but Garrity was called for
a lane violation and, with a second chance, James hit both free throws, putting
the Hurricanes up 63-59 with 34 seconds left.

Phil Hickey fouled Vernon Jennings with 8 seconds left and Jennings hit two
free throws for the final margin.
